MEET THE TEAM

Friends for 37 years, Rae and Hayley met when they were both working as cocktail waitresses at the Nanaimo Keg in the late 1980s.

In 1994 Rae and her family moved to Smithers BC where she enjoyed a career as an Early Childhood Educator. In 2018 she retired from ECE and decided to follow her passion for professional organizing and furniture refinishing.

In 2002, Hayley began her career as an Interior Decorator and remained on Vancouver Island.

In 2021, Rae returned home to her beloved Vancouver Island and it was then that the “Divine Collaboration” began. After teaming up on different projects together, they soon realized that two heads were better than one and very quickly, Refine Home Inc. was born.

Even after being apart for over 25 years they still have that same connection and zest for business. Each one brings so much to the table… Rae with her amazing business sense, organization and creativity. Hayley with her creative mind and keen eye for style and design.

Most importantly, they bring laughter and fun and have a caring and compassionate approach with their clients. They genuinely love creating amazing spaces for great people.

Hi, my name is Rae-Lynn!

I am a Professional Organizer who has a passion for creating beautiful and organized spaces for my clients in their home or business. I have always been a person of “all things organized” but my passion really comes from knowing the difference even a little organizing and downsizing can make for my clients. It’s overwhelming right? Where do you start? What do you do with your belongings? How do get that calm and functional space you always wanted? Maybe you even need a little help getting your family onboard with some organizing. I can help create some organizing systems to help you keep your spaces organized, even after the work is done. I know firsthand the importance of being in an environment that feels calm, organized and purposeful.

Prior to becoming a Professional Organizer, I was a preschool teacher for over 30 years. It was during this time that I came to value the importance of space and environments for children and this passion lead me to helping my clients in their homes and their businesses by creating spaces that are functional and organized.

Returning back to Vancouver Island in Fall 2021, I discovered a huge need in helping families with downsizing, decluttering, packing & unpacking, removal of their items and all those move out details. Again, it’s an overwhelming process. So the addition of Move Management was added to Refine Home Inc. and I am super happy to be collaborating with my long-time friend and business partner, Hayley.

“Together we can help from start to finish with your big move, downsizing or organizing project!”

Hi, I'm Hayley!

I am an Interior Decorator, Serial Renovator, Real Estate Investor, and an Airbnb Super host. I like to call myself a MULTI-PASSIONATE.

My love for beautiful spaces started at a very young age. At sleepovers I spent time re-arranging and re-organizing my friends bedrooms. In 2002 I turned my passion into a career, and that same year I was chosen as a top ten Finalist for HGTV Canada's Designer Superstar Challenge.

Firstly, I am a mom and a wife. I am also a passionate wanderlust and have been lucky enough to have travelled to some amazing places on the planet. Thailand, Turkey, Greece, Spain & France to name a few. I do however always look forward to returning to my beloved home on Vancouver Island.

For the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of renovating and designing hundreds of spaces. From baby nurseries and bedrooms to restaurants and yachts. I have loved being able to create beautiful spaces for beautiful people.
